Try Google’s New ‘I’m Feeling Lucky’ Button

Google’s “I’m Feeling Lucky” button was cool back in the day, but lately it hasn’t served much purpose; Google Instant has made it pretty much irrelevant. Now Google’s spicing the old trick up a bit with new adjectives.

If you head over to Google right now, and hover your cursor over the “I’m Feeling Lucky” bar, you’ll see it spin to a new adjective like “stellar” or “hungry”. When you click it then, it’ll take you to some random goodness about that particular thing, like pictures of a nebula, or a list of nearby restaurants.

It’s not like this is suddenly going to make the ancient button the premier way to search, but it’s a neat little gimmick, one that’s worth checking out.
